For the student of second language learning, \"hands-on\" experience with actual data is essential in understanding the processes involved in learning a second language. Working through exemplars of the kinds of interlanguages that learners do and do not create brings about a clearer understanding of the principles underlying these interlanguages, as well as the universal principles of language learning (those that are independent of particular languages and interlanguages). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The goal in this workbook is to present data organized in such a way that by working through pedagogically presented data-sets, students are led to a discovery and understanding of theoretical and\/or methodological issues. In addition, they acquire the ability to interpret data and to begin to draw conclusions from them. The authors intend that students should go from the data to a conclusion that includes a 3-part statement: \u003cbr\u003e *what else you should want to know about these data; \u003cbr\u003e *why this, specifically, and not something else; and \u003cbr\u003e *how one can empirically research what you want to find out. \u003cbr\u003e This sequence of questions forces students to constantly keep in mind the important question of falsification: What kind of data would it take to falsify the particular conclusions the students come to? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As with the earlier edition of this workbook (Sorace, Gass, \u0026amp; Selinker), two audiocassettes provide language samples for use in the exercises. These cassettes and the teacher's manual are offered free of charge on adoption of the workbook for classroom use; a three-part set (workbook\/manual\/tapes) is also available.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46930551799959,"sku":"9780805832631","price":2556.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780805832631.webp?v=1771607635","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/second-language-learning-data-analysis-9780805832631","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
